I cannot stand anime for the most part and I especially dislike the Ghibli stuff*...but Grave Of The Fireflies is an exceptional film. So powerful.
*It's the art style. I find it repulsive and ugly. So much so that - to my shame and regret, I admit - it means I cannot connect with the stories and characters, no matter how well crafted these may be. I especially dislike the emotionless faces with big eyes and few other features *shudder*...yet I loved Marine Boy when I was very little! *sigh* This makes Grave Of The Fireflies even more exceptional in my book...
